Carol Kent is that increasingly rare yacht charter broker who maintains and pursues an intimate knowledge of all aspects of yacht charter travel. That talent paid off earlier this year when the Marbleheader who is owner and CEO of Carol Kent Yacht Charters, was named the Charter Professional of the Year for her excellence in the charter yacht industry by the International Yacht Brokers Association (IYBA) during its annual meeting and dinner gala in Fort Lauderdale.Kent and her team cover the world from New England, the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, Scandinavia, Southeast Asia, the South Pacific, Central America to the Galapagos and the Alaskan glaciers getting to know every detail of a destination so every itinerary is custom designed for clients, including matching the perfect yacht with the right crew for the client. Kent joked that there was no app for what she does."I'm honored to be singled out for this award among the many yacht brokers, management companies, and maritime-affiliated members who have built this organization," she said.Kent was also just elected Vice President of the American Yacht Charter Association (AYCA) where she is the Public Relations Chair as well.
